| Found in | LCCN 68-16073: Maiden, C. The borrowed crown, 1968 (hdg: Simnel, Lambert) Wikipedia, Mar. 31, 2022 (Lambert Simnel (c. 1477-after 1534) was a pretender to the throne of England. In 1487, his claim to be Edward Plantagenet, 17th Earl of Warwick, threatened the newly established reign of Henry VII (1485-1509). Simnel became the figurehead of a Yorkist rebellion organised by John de la Pole, Earl of Lincoln. The rebellion was crushed in 1487. Simnel was pardoned because of his tender years, and was thereafter employed by the Royal household as a scullion, and, later, as a falconer.) |
